Chapter 220: The Wolf Valley
Chapter 220: The Wolf Valley
Fujin weaved the hand signs and slammed his hands on the ground.
'Summoning Jutsu!'
Fujin immediately disappeared from Konoha.
The scenery around Fujin changed instantly. He was in the air and began falling. Fujin landed on his feet as he thought, 'So this is how Space-Time travel feels? I kinda assumed that it would be uncomfortable or weird. Instead, it just feels like flickering.'
As soon as he landed, a lot of eyes turned towards him. Fujin too looked around himself. His chakra field was already spread out.
He thought, 'So I am in the land of wolves, huh? Now, are they friendly or aggressive?'
Fujin had landed in a Wolf Valley. It was a huge place surrounded by massive mountains. Fujin sensed hundreds of wolves in his chakra field. And he could see that his chakra field didn't cover even one percent of the total area of the valley.
The spot where Fujin landed had 9 wolves around him. They looked at Fujin with curiosity as he appeared out of nowhere.
However, the curiosity didn't last long. A few seconds later, a Wolf howled loudly and pounced on Fujin! Immediately, the other wolves also howled and pounced on Fujin.
Fujin easily dodged them and asked, "Who is your leader?"
Unfortunately, he didn't get any response as they kept attacking him. Fujin sighed, 'Great, they don't understand human language!'
His expression became grim as he sensed the hundreds of wolves in his chakra field running towards him. He thought, 'I hope at least some of them understand human language.'
He kept dodging without attacking back. He was afraid that the leaders of the pack might treat him as an enemy if he attacked back. More importantly, he wasn't aware of how strong the leaders would be. If they were anything like the Toads or the Snakes, it would bring a catastrophe on him if he killed them indiscriminately.
Fujin kept dodging until the number of Wolves surrounding him became too high. With no other option, he flickered away. Unfortunately, the entire place was crawling with wolves. No matter where he flickered, he would be swarmed by wolves in a few seconds. Luckily, none of them could use chakra. So Fujin wasn't in any danger.
Suddenly, Fujin's attention was attracted. He sensed a wolf pack heading towards him. Every single wolf in this pack had a much higher chakra! It was as high as a normal chunin would have. In addition, their size was much larger than a normal wolf.
As soon as that pack appeared, the normal wolves cleared the path. They ran straight towards Fujin. A smile appeared on Fujin's face as he thought, 'Finally. I was getting bored. And they should understand human speech.'
The new Wolf pack didn't waste any time attacking Fujin. However, Fujin disappeared from their sight. The lead wolf suddenly howled as Fujin was standing on his back. Fujin stated, "I am not here to fight. So, can any of you bring me to your leader?"
Unfortunately, he didn't get any response as the other Wolves jumped at him. Their claws ripped through Fujin and their jaws took huge bites. Both their claws and jaws were enhanced with Chakra. However, the injured Fujin disappeared in a cloud of smoke.
This confused the wolves. Fujin, who was hiding underground, thought, "Okay, so they don't speak or don't want to speak."
Fujin could sense more wolf packs with higher chakra heading towards him. He made Shadow clones. Each of the clones headed towards the incoming packs and tried conversing with them.
Unfortunately, none of the wolf packs talked back to him. They just kept attacking him like wild beasts. Fujin's clones didn't bother putting up a fight. After getting no response, they just let the wolf packs kill them.
As Fujin received everyone's memories, he sighed, 'Looks like they don't talk at all. I'll hide here until someone who can talk appears.'
The Wolves knew that Fujin wasn't dead. They kept searching, but couldn't find even a trace of Fujin. It was as if he never arrived there. After half an hour, another Wolf Pack arrived. These wolves all had Jounin levels of chakra. And they were very large. They were all as big as a truck. And the wolf leading the pack was larger than the rest by almost 50%!
As soon as they entered Fujin's chakra field, they sensed that they were being sensed. They immediately looked in the direction Fujin was hiding and ran towards him.
However, 3 shadow clones suddenly appeared in their path. The Wolves stopped. One of Fujin's clones said, "I am not here to fight. I came here to sign a summoning contract."
The Wolves stopped their aggressive posture and relaxed a bit. Fujin's clones were relieved as well, 'Finally, someone who understands the language!'
However, at the very next second, the gigantic wolves opened their mouths and exhaled strong winds at Fujin's clones. The clones were on their guard. One immediately used Infinite Breakthrough jutsu to counter the attack. The winds clashed against each other and formed a small hurricane which soon began dispersing.
The gaze of Fujin's clones changed. They decided, 'Talking is useless. Either these guys will just keep attacking or this is a test to see my martial might.'
They saw as the wolves ran into the hurricane to reach the clones. Their heavy bodies meant that the hurricane couldn't stop them. Immediately, all 3 shadow clones fired Vacuum Bullets into the hurricane. The bullets ripped through the hurricane and reached the unsuspecting Wolves. Six wolves were hit by it.
Though Fujin had decided to fight, he didn't want to cause a massacre. The vacuum bullets hit the sides of the wolf and cut through the surface of their flesh. All 6 wolves had a 12-meter-long deep slash on one of their sides.
They howled in pain and ran away from Fujin's clones. However, the remaining wolves made it through the hurricane to attack Fujin's clones.
However, as soon as they made it to the opposite side, his clones made a hand seal. Their fists turned black and became very hard. At the same time, Chakra became visible around their fists. They flickered on top of the wolves and punched their head with their full strength.
The sudden impact on the skulls immediately made them lose consciousness. The clones flickered multiple times and knocked out all of them with ease.
They couldn't help but think, 'Though their chakra is high, their fighting style is very lousy. That's disappointing. I hope that there are better ones in the valley who know sage mode. Otherwise, it will be too disappointing.'
Seeing the bigger wolves knocked out or running injured silenced the remaining wolves. Fujin expected the weaker wolves to run away or call for stronger reinforcements. However, his guess was wrong.
Every single wolf around him howled and rushed blindly at his clones. The clones sighed at their disappointing intelligence. The three clones stood with their backs to each other and began preparing the same jutsu. As soon as the wolves reached within arm's distance, all three clones used the jutsu.
'Wind Release: Triple Infinite Breakthrough jutsu'
In an instant, high-speed winds spread in all directions! The wolves who were rushing forward were stopped. Instead, the winds pushed them back. Many wolves tried holding on to the ground. However, eventually, all the nearby wolves were sent flying through the air. Even the unconscious bodies of the giant wolves were sent flying.
The clones looked at the sight and thought, 'If we had made these winds sharper, this whole valley would have been covered in blood by now!'
Painful howls spread throughout the valley as the wolves crashed on the ground. A few of the weaker wolves ended up dying due to the impact.
However, the ones who were alive got up and charged at Fujin's clones once again. In addition, more wolf packs kept joining them. The clones sighed and fought back.
Two days later -
Fujin was hiding underground. However, his expression wasn't good and his chakra was very low.
Fujin was still in the wolf valley. He kept making shadow clones and sending them to fight for two whole days! The entire valley was covered by the bodies of wolves. Almost all of them were injured. Quite a few were dead as well. Unfortunately, there was no end to the wolf tide.
During these two days, Fujin's clones had fought over a hundred thousand wolves! However, not a single wolf that attacked Fujin's clones for over two days had the skill to even injure him. On the other hand, any wind jutsu would result in a huge number of casualties to them. His clones would fight until they ran out of chakra and Fujin would create new ones to replace them.
However, after two days of fighting, Fujin's chakra finally hit rock bottom. Even soldier pills couldn't generate chakra at enough speed.
Fujin sighed, 'It looks hopeless. Though the number of wolves is very high, there are no high-level wolves. My clones have scouted every single mountain around the valley in these two days, but I never found any Wolf interested in talking.
So either these guys have no brains or their leaders are hiding somewhere and don't think that I am someone worthy enough to make them show themselves. Of course, this could still be a test, but my chakra is almost dry.'
